Origin/meaning
Friedrichsdorf was founded in 1687 by Count Friedrich II of Hessen-Homburg as a settlement for French Huguenot refugees. In 1771 it received city rights, but it did not use an own seal.
The first arms were devised in 1821 for Princess Alexandra of Russia, during a visit to the court of Count Friedrich Josef in Bad Homburg and were officially granted on June 9, 1821. She visited Friedrichsdorf and in her honour 9 roses (one for each letter of her first name) were used in the arms. In 1828 the arms also appeared on the seal of Friedrichsdorf.
After the merger with the three other municipalities it was finally decided that the name Friedrichsdorf should remain, but that the other municipalities should be represented in the arms. It took until 1975 before agreement was reached. The arms show the rose of Friedrichsdorf, the wheel of Köppern, the horseshoe of Seulberg and the tower from the arms of Burgholzhausen.
